Does anyone know if you can split the High Definition signal from one Sony HD 300 receiver to fit two HD televisions. I have a 65" mitsubishi and I am currently remodeling the kitchen and planning to put in a 17 inch hdtv flat panel. I want to split the HDTV YBG signal from one receiver to operate two tvs. I know they would have the same picture on the screen if this can be done. I can connect a second normal satellite feed to get a different picture but not HD.

A 17" screen, HDTV or not, will not look any better than a standard SD at 17". Bring the second feed to it and be happy. It's going to look very good anyway. You can't split the component feeds.

If you just get 3 Y-adapters from Radio Shack, the images on both sets will look very dark. The proper way to do what you want is to get a Component Distribution Amplifier. These are pricey since the market for them is small. Key Digital sells one. Hopefully Google will find you some more. Check the bandwidth carefully.

AS Bobby suggested, try it with SD first and see how it looks. With a screen that small it should look fine.

RDH,
If I read the specs right, the Sony HD300 has DVI, RGB and Component outputs. Maybe you could run RGB to the flat panel and component to the big screen?
